2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DY65 DFJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 26 April 2025 at 97,716 miles returned no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of passes suggests that the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to vehicle upkeep, avoiding the common mechanical and structural failures that typically plague cars of this age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 61,911 miles and April 2025 at 97,716 miles, the car covered over 35,000 miles at a steady rate. The interval of 12,193 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates regular road use, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and preventing the types of corrosion-related issues often seen with long periods of inactivity. While the digital record shows no recurring faults with suspension bushes or brake components, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear areas associated with the 100,0000-mile threshold. Check the condition of the shock absorbers and control arm bushings for signs of perishing, as these often degrade at this mileage mark. Given the clean history, the buyer should also verify the chassis for any emerging surface rust, though the MOT tests indicate the structural integrity remains sound based on previous inspections.
